    I'm looking to upgrade my old receivers to DVRs. Dish Network has this deal to lease 510s from them for $5 each and pay $4.99 a month as well. I heard that the 508 may be a better deal. What are the basic differences between the two receivers, and are the 508s still available? Any assistance...
